Santa Barbara Seafood on State Street: What to Order
By Broad Street Oyster Co.
Santa Barbara has the beaches, the wineries and some of the best seafood on the coast. On historic State Street, a few blocks from the sand, you'll find Broad Street Oyster Co.: oysters on ice, World Famous Lobster Rolls and a big patio made for long lunches and late nights.
Here's what to order and how to fit us into a day in Santa Barbara.
Where to find us
We're at 418 State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, on the lower end of State Street near the waterfront. It's a short walk to Stearns Wharf, the beach and the Funk Zone's tasting rooms, so it's an easy stop wherever your day takes you.
We're open every day from noon until late.
What to order
Start at the raw bar. Pick from the chef's selection of oysters, a shrimp cocktail, seafood ceviche with avocado and tortilla chips, or scallop crudo with olive oil, pink peppercorn and lemon zest. Going all out? Order caviar service with California sturgeon, potato chips and crème fraîche, or the seafood tower.
The lobster roll. Our World Famous Lobster Roll comes warm with butter or chilled with mayo, both on toasted brioche. Not sure which? Read our guide.
Sea urchin spaghetti. Santa Barbara is famous for its sea urchin, and this is our tribute: spaghetti with uni butter and Aleppo pepper.
The hits. Shrimp scampi, Baja tacos with beer-battered shrimp or fish, fish and chips in Budweiser batter and a fried seafood platter to share.
Something warm. New England clam chowder with Nueske's bacon.
Not into seafood? The classic burger, chicken and fries, and a hot dog have you covered.
